Shamar Elkins’ Final Exchange with Former Wife Revealed Before Shreveport Tragedy

Investigators also said many of the children appeared to have been shot while asleep, with most sustaining gunshot wounds to the head. Attention has also turned to the family’s life on social media before the incident.

A Glimpse Into Their Facebook Activity

As previously reported, Shamar remained active on Facebook, often sharing moments from his daily life centered on his children. His profile, however, listed little personal information beyond his gender.

Just days before the incident, he posted a photo of his eldest child sitting in the front seat of a vehicle and eating a burger during what he described as a one-on-one outing.

Back on April 6, he shared a photo of himself standing outside a home with several children, dressed for Easter, and gathered closely together.

Earlier posts took on a more introspective tone.

In one post dated April 9, he shared a lengthy prayer centered on strength, peace, and protection. In another post from March 12, he shared a short message that read, “Understand to be misunderstood.”

On February 13, he shared a photo showing several children sitting on the floor inside a home, gathered closely around large open trays of food as they ate together during a casual group meal.
